The Pentax K-7 is a compact, magnesium alloy body that is one of the smallest in the advanced photo enthusiast category to reduce bulk and allow users to travel light while maintaining durability and build quality. The Pentax K7 is the ideal choice for everybody!
The Pentax K7 also offers high-speed movie data transmission and the Pentax K-7 can record movie clips at different sizes - 640 x 416 pixels, 1536 x 1024 pixels, or 1280 x 720 pixels (16:9 aspect ratio) - at a frame rate of 30 frames per second.
It also has HDMI and external microphone input terminals. Also new is the SAFOX VIII+ wide-frame autofocus system, which features 11 sensor points (with nine cross-type sensors positioned in the middle). Improved algorithms and the addition of a light source type to its data range ensure superior speed and accuracy to the previous system. Pentax K7 AF-assisting spot beam projector in the built-in flash unit improves autofocusing accuracy in the dark.
Pentax K7 and durable and functional body, smaller than any other in its class
The Pentax K-7 is built exceptional solid and durable, as its chassis is made of high-rigidity stainless-steel alloy and its housing is made of durable but lightweight magnesium-steel alloy. Thanks to 77 special seals applied to the Pentax K7 body, it also features a dustproof, weather- and cold-resistant construction, assuring reliable operation even under harsh conditions and at a temperature as low as -10°C. It also features a newly designed shutter unit providing a top shutter speed of 1/8000 second and the outstanding durability to withstand 100,000 shutter releases. Despite all these features, the Pentax K-7 is one of the most compact and functional mid-class models in the market, because PENTAX applied all the experience and expertise in camera downsizing the company has developed from the earliest days of film-format SLR cameras.
Pentax K-7 Optical viewfinder showing nearly 100% field of view
The Pentax K-7 glass prism finder offers an approximately 100% field of view and an approximately 92% magnification to facilitate focusing and framing operations. It also features a new Natural-Bright-Matte III focusing screen to improve focusing accuracy during manual-focus operation.
Pentax K7 High-speed continuous shooting at approx. 5.2 images per second
The Pentax K-7 high-speed continuous shooting mode captures as many as 40 images (in JPEG recording format) at a maximum speed of approximately 5.2 images per second, allowing the photographer to follow the movement of an active subject or preserve a sequence of the subject’s expressions.
New DR II mechanism to minimize dust spots
The Pentax K-7 comes equipped with the newly developed DR (Dust Removal) II mechanism, designed to effectively minimize annoying dust spots on recorded images, even after changing lenses in dust-prone outdoor settings. By shifting the low-pass filter located in front of the CMOS image sensor at supersonic speed using a piezoelectric element, it shakes the dust off the low-pass filter as effectively and efficiently as any other dust removal device. The Pentax K7 unique dust-alert system also lets the user check for dust adhering to the low-pass filter prior to actual shooting.
